"Ningning, do you have the ability to protect yourself?" Sheng Zexi wanted to confirm this question.

"Yes, the last time that person was a trafficker..."

Sheng Zexi did not let Gu Jianing continue speaking, as he already understood.

I just reminded him, "Even if you have the ability to protect yourself, you still have to be more careful. If anything happens to you and the child, what should I do?"

Gu Jianing took Sheng Zexi's arm and said, "I know."

After making sure that Gu Jianing was able to protect herself, Sheng Zexi heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, with Li Shuyao or someone else keeping an eye on Ningning and harboring such hostility towards her, Sheng Zexi would really be worried about not being by her side when he went on a mission.

"Why don't you ask anything?" Gu Jianing blinked and leaned over to ask him.

So far, Sheng Zexi only knew that there was something special about her. Even if he asked a few questions, it was just to make sure she was safe. He didn't ask anything else.

Isn't Xige curious?

Sheng Zexi glanced at his young wife and knew what was going on in her moving eyes.

I couldn't help but reach out and gently tap her forehead, saying, "You just like to let your imagination run wild."

"Why am I asking? When it comes to secrets, the fewer people the better, even if that person is me!"

"So, I won't ask, and you don't have to say you know, right?"

Gu Jianing saw the seriousness and solemnity in Sheng Zexi's eyes, her eyes welled up, she nodded, and nestled into his arms.

Her voice was soft and sweet. "Xi Ge, how come you are so kind? I think the luckiest thing in my life is choosing you."

Sheng Zexi hugged his wife in his arms, with the corners of his mouth raised wildly, as if he was a big dog praised by his owner. If he had a tail, it would have been wagging wildly at this moment.

"Just so you know, you've found a treasure by marrying me."

Gu Jianing covered his mouth and laughed. This man is so thick-skinned that there is really no way he can change.

Since Sheng Zexi didn't ask any further questions and vaguely knew that she was special, Gu Jianing felt relieved and a little bolder.

I leaned over to his ear and whispered to him about the invisible bulletproof vest.

Sheng Zexi's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of: I thought what I knew was already shocking, but I didn't expect that there would be something even more shocking.

Bulletproof vests are very scarce nowadays. He has only heard of them but has never worn them.

I heard that it currently only occurs when carrying out extremely dangerous border missions.

And Ningning actually has it, and it's invisible.

"Wear it on me now?" Shengze Xiwen.

Gu Jianing nodded.

Sheng Zexi reached out to touch, but he couldn't touch or see anything.

It was obvious that he didn't have anything resembling a bulletproof vest on him, and he didn't know when he put it on.

At this moment, Sheng Zexi knew that this might be a high-tech thing of the future, and Ning Ning possessed it, and maybe even more than what he knew now.

Sheng Zexi wondered, if backward countries obtained these high technologies, would they be able to progress and develop rapidly?

But this thought only lasted for a moment before it was cut off by Sheng Zexi.

Even so, he would never let Ning Ning be in danger. He was even more determined to protect Gu Jianing and not let her secret be exposed.

Perhaps because he has a mission tomorrow, Sheng Zexi is very concerned about Jianing today.

All day long he either followed her around like a big shot or hugged her, and kept telling Gu Jianing how to take care of herself after he left.

"Remember to drink goat milk every day. The soldiers will deliver it to your door every day."

"When I'm not at home, you don't have to go to the cafeteria to eat, let alone cook for yourself. You can go to Zhang's house to eat. We will give them some money and tickets. Zhang's wife also agreed."

"When I'm not at home, try to go out as little as possible. Although I know you have the ability to protect yourself, I still don't want you and the children to be in danger."

…

I don't know how many instructions he gave, but every time he said one, Gu Jianing would respond tirelessly.

Gu Jianing wouldn't feel annoyed because she knew that it was Sheng Zexi's love and care for her. It was such a happy thing and she should feel happy and blessed.

Finally, Sheng Zexi hugged Gu Jianing, like a big dog that was about to go far away but couldn't bear to leave its owner. "Ningning, I'm sorry, you are still in the early stages of pregnancy, but I can't be by your side. Ningning, I can't bear to leave you."

Gu Jianing hugged him back, "I don't want to leave you either, but I know your ambitions and the responsibilities on your shoulders. You are a hero, my hero, and the hero of this country and its people. My children and I will wait for you at home. You must take care of yourself. Your safe return is our greatest hope."

Gu Jianing's words made Sheng Zexi's heart warm and his eyes sore. "Yes, I will."

The next morning, when Gu Jianing woke up, the man was no longer beside her.

But looking back, Gu Jianing knew that he was on a mission and didn't even know when he would be back.

Yesterday, the two of them agreed that when Sheng Zexi left, he would leave quietly without waking Gu Jianing up, so as to avoid making her sad because of the separation.

And now...

Gu Jianing hugged Sheng Zexi's pillow, which seemed to still have a special man's scent.

After sitting on the kang for a long time, Gu Jianing came to his senses and started to wash up.

After she finished washing up, she heard Zhang Shuwan from next door calling her to come over for dinner.

"I'm here."

When Gu Jianing went there, Lin Xing was not there, as he had already gone for training.

At this moment, Gu Jianing, Zhang Shuwan and Guoguo were having breakfast together.

"How is it? Your Captain Sheng is away on a mission. Do you miss him a lot?" Zhang Shuwan asked.

Gu Jianing thought for a moment and said, "It's okay."

Zhang Shuwan smiled and said nothing, "It's only today, the first day, that you can say this. After a few days, you will know the difference."

Gu Jianing: Really?

In fact, it is exactly as Zhang Shuwan said.

When Sheng Zexi was around, he was responsible for boiling water, heating the kang, and doing housework.

Now that he is not here, Gu Jianing has to do everything himself.

It was fine during the day, but at night, when he slept alone in the empty room, the quilt was warm and the kang underneath was also warm, but Gu Jianing still felt very empty. In the past, he always had someone by his side to keep him warm and hold him, and he felt very safe.

The strong wind and heavy snow outside the window seemed nothing.

Now, without the man by her side, Gu Jianing only felt that the noise of the strong wind and heavy snow outside had become louder, so loud that it was impossible to sleep.

Yes, Gu Jianing suffered from insomnia on the first night when Sheng Zexi left for his mission.

I wondered where Sheng Zexi was now and whether he had eaten enough.

Are you thinking about her the same way?
